NBA League Pass - FREE TRIAL

Submitted by Sha8doW on Wed, 30/10/2013 - 20:14

Here at IPX we like our sports! eSport, roundball, ovalball, small ball, large ball, arrows, pucks, yep you name it!

One sport Fuzz and I really like is Basketball! And there is no bigger stage, when it comes to basketball, than the NBA!
Being in Australia, we need to watch the NBA via a system called NBA International League Pass. This Pass gives you unlimited access to watch any game throughout the season and finals! That’s right you can watch each of the 30 NBA teams play their 82 game regular season, plus the all star game, and all of the Finals!!!
You can watch them when you want, as many times as you want: live, delayed, highlights or condensed!
my experience is that it comes though in HD quality, and it absorbs just under 800mb of downloads per game! (but i can even watch it when Im shaped)!
You can watch it via PC, XBox, Apple TV, Apple Apps for iPhone/iPad etc Android, Windows Phone & Kindle

PoE Steam Highlight

Submitted by Somtin on Thu, 24/10/2013 - 14:41

If you would please point your attention to the Steam store, you will realize a game there that has taken the spotlight.

This is path of exile!

You are an Exile, struggling to survive on the dark continent of Wraeclast, as you fight to earn power that will allow you to exact your revenge against those who wronged you. Created by hardcore gamers, Path of Exile is an online Action RPG set in a dark fantasy world. With a focus on visceral action combat, powerful items and deep character customization, Path of Exile is completely free and will never be pay-to-win.

People compare it to Diablo, by saying it’s what Diablo 3 should’ve been. Personally, I think the game is very much like Diablo 2 and it’s deep customization with it’s HUGE passive skill tree and skill gem system is endless.

If you like action RPG’s, I definitely recommend having a look.

Linus Torvalds has welcomed the arrival of Valve’s Linux-based platform, SteamOS, and said it could boost Linux on desktops.

The Linux creator praised Valve’s “vision” and suggested its momentum would force other manufacturers to take Linux seriously – especially if game developers start to ditch Windows.

Bored tonight, so I tried soloing framing frame on overkill stealthy.

Wasn’t enormously difficult tbh and only had to restart once for day 1 and twice for day 3.

The Ship

Submitted by Somtin on Mon, 14/10/2013 - 10:23

Now I don’t know if anyone else has seen this game but I was wondering what everyone’s opinion of it is.

So you’re on a ship and around the ship you can find all sorts of weapons in the closets and hidey holes such as crow bars, pots, guns etc etc.

So while you’re running around looking for some nice weapons, you get given a target which is someone else on the ship and you use your weapons to take your target out. But of course, while you are doing this, someone else has you as a target as well. Your job is to take out your target before the round runs out. Another game mode is that when you kill someone, they stay out for the rest of the game and you get a new target. So there could be multiple people with you as a target.. Watch your back.

Don’t get spotted though! You’ll get sent to jail for a small amount of time which could be dangerous, as when you get released, your killer might be waiting for you…
